Tactics / Queenside Attack

Queenside Attack

Strike where the king isn't — the minority attack and beyond.

When kings castle on opposite wings, or the play shifts to the queenside, attacks there win material and create passed pawns. The minority attack, pawn breaks, and infiltration on the c- and b-files are the tools — the slower, structural side of attacking play.
